Unfortunately, both of these videos have been blocked by copyright troll Aviator Management GmbH. For the soundscapes video I decided to just mute out the offending one (track 9), and the documentary I uploaded here: archive.org/details/full...

Steve Ball, who created Vista's other sounds, was the one to get Fripp involved with making the Vista startup, and also worked on the first soundscape here.

I have found ten of the soundscapes that Robert Fripp created for Windows Vista! These were made available on the WorldWide Telescope website. Unfortunately they're only in mono WMA, but these are still interesting.
